electrode is maintained in equilibrium with the ions in solution that are
oxidized and reduced at its surface. To maintain this equilibrium, the
concentrations of reactants must be held constant at the electrode
surface, as is true when negligible current flows through the reference
electrode.

shows that same setup created with the 5500 SPM liquid cell. Note that
electrochemistry experiments can be conducted using either AFM
Modes or STM Mode.
